Sharon was Deputy Global CEO at Oliver and The Inside Ideas Group. She was part of IIG for over 9 years, originally joining as CEO of the UK Group. Sharon was an integral part of the leadership team that sold the business to The Brandtech Group and has unique experience delivered incredible growth and commercial success for IIG taking it from a £30m to a £360m NR business. She is known for spearheading an inclusive ‘people first’ culture which led to Oliver UK being voted as one of the top places to work in the UK and Sharon herself winning Campaign Female Frontier CEO of the Year 2021.
Prior to IIG she spent 13 years (on and off!) at Proximity London where she won and worked across its largest and most highly-awarded accounts, including Lloyds Banking Group, VWG and particularly The Economist. The latter won over 20 awards in 2015 alone, including both the DMA Grand Prix and a Lion at Cannes.
Sharon now spends her time as a qualified Leadership Coach, advisor and NED.
